Combinatorial optimization is a multidisciplinary scientific area,
lying in the interface of three major scientific domains:
mathematics, theoretical computer science and management.
The three volumes of the Combinatorial Optimization series aims
to cover a wide range of topics in this area. These topics also
deal with fundamental notions and approaches as with several
classical applications of combinatorial optimization.
‘Applications of Combinatorial Optimization’ is
presenting a certain number among the most common and well-known
applications of Combinatorial Optimization.
